Although many people missed the museum, there are actually many Japanese classics to funny advertising exhibition areas, where you can experience the sense of humor and creativity of Japanese people. The museum has a strong sense of design and is suitable for slow wandering; if you are interested, you may wish to attend the special exhibitions/workshops held regularly in the museum.

The new venue is super conveniently located. It is recommended to buy tickets in advance to avoid long queues on site. Every exhibition area in the art gallery is very fried, the sea of flowers, waterfalls, interactive light and shadow all can take beautiful photos (bring a fully charged mobile phone, camera memory card must be enough!). It is recommended to reserve at least 2 hours to slowly check in. Remember to wear light-colored clothes for the best results.
[Real Journey Tips]
After teamLab without boundaries, I genuinely felt the shock of the integration of art and technology, some exhibition areas are more crowded, it is recommended to enter as soon as the museum opens to avoid peak hours. The Tokyo Advertising Museum is relatively unpopular, but it's very quiet. You can watch the exhibition slowly without being crowded. There are plenty of food options near Tokyo Tower, and there are small local shops a short walk away. You can really dig surprises if you look slowly.
[Transportation Tips & Itinerary Suggestions]
- Three attractions are located around Minato and Shinbashi, which can be connected with a Tokyo Metro one-day pass for super smooth transportation.
- The tower and teamLab are unbounded distance of about 20 minutes by taxi or subway, the advertising museum is near Shiodome Station, a ten-minute walk.
- It is recommended to go to teamLab in the morning (to avoid the crowds), eat sukiyaki at noon, go to the advertising museum in the afternoon, and go to the Tokyo Tower in the evening.
Finally, the Tokyo trip feels important to the itinerary, it is recommended to book popular exhibition halls first, reserve the opportunity to try local cuisine, enjoy the art and delicious Tokyo intertwined!
